Drifting h@rdc()r3

[parkskier]

Alright, so yesterday, there was a little snow on the ground. So I took my celica to the Waterbury Country Club parking lot and tried some drifting with my friends. The whole lot was lightly covered with snow (with the high performance tires it was nice and slick). So in 2nd gear, i took a nice wide turn, kept the wheel steady, yanked the eBrake- the car immediately slid sideways , i turned the wheel so the front wheels are pointing in the direction i am sliding (sideways) and held the gas so it was gripping (pulling the car sideways even more). Then i let the eBrake off and drove right out of it. it was a BLAST!

Then in the last 2 days, i have been using it on my roads (because my house is in the "country"). I would slide around corners and stuff- practical use of the drift.

tell me if u guys do it a different way OR if you can do it without the eBrake?

uuuhhh...i dont think many people are stoopid enough to drift their cars here....maybe play in the snow a lil but thats it.

but if you had fun with it....good job!

i do the same thing :) i love it. i know what im doing and im in complete control of the car when i do it, but it scares the sh!t out of the people in the car with me and that are behind me.

i had this one girl in my car when i did it, doing maybe 25-30mph down a straight wide road during the first storm we had and i got the car at a 60 degree angle. she was gripping the seat so hard her hands were bright red and i thought she was gonna rip the leather off my seats! LOL. ;)

Hint - it's not drifting if it's in the snow. It's called skidding out of control and doing donuts in a parking lot.

I'm currently unaware of any FWD car that's actually capable of a drift.

I agree with you there, bro, but I know for a fact that you can get the celica to oversteer. That's the reason my car doesn't have much left of the back end any more. Damn guardrails:bang:

If you can get a front wheel drive vehicl to oversteer, wouldn't that in a sense be "drifting"??

what happened to your rear end? you hit a guardrail??? when did this happen?!?!? do you have pics?

You can drift a FWD car. Drifting is when you can get the car to slide sideways IN CONTROL, and you are steering into the slide (this is what makes you slide so effectively). This is not a burnout or a doughnut, it is a DRIFT! lol
